Are you thinking about ending your marriage with a narcissist in Louisville? You’ve had all you can put up with and have tried everything possible to make your marriage to a narcissist work. You already know divorcing a narcissist is going to be as difficult or more so than staying put, but that isn’t an option is it? So, it’s time to focus, gather your strength and draw on the skills and experience of the proven divorce and family law attorneys at Dodd & Dodd. You’re going to need help, support, strategies, and sound advice and counsel at each step of the divorce process.
Keep your mind focused on the primary goal here: Not having to put up with this for the rest of your life.
The first step in preparing for a divorce and ending your marriage to a narcissist in Louisville is organization. Take photos and video of your home, furnishings and all of your assets and possessions. You’ll need documentation so it is important to get hard copies (or separate digital copies such as PDFs) of statements for the past two to three years of all bank accounts, credit cards and lines of credit, the mortgage, pay stubs, W2s, tax returns (3 years here), retirement accounts, and insurance. Make sure you have secured all birth certificates, your marriage license, drivers license and any passport for you or your child(ren).
It is important to recognize that narcissists actually feed on controlling others and manipulating their emotions. This can especially apply to you. Ending your marriage with a narcissist in Louisville begins with retaking control, legally and strategically. This requires a focused mindset, prepared to carefully manage all communications as well as strategies for self-care and peace of mind. This includes tactics for responding to the inevitable abusive texts, emails and voicemails.
The narcissist is going to manipulate you and the circumstances to get you to question yourself and, in many aspects, reality itself. They will attempt to provide (inaccurate and misleading) “legal insight” (“I know the law here…”) and will try to manipulate your fears on everything from child custody and visitation to issues of support and finances.
Narcissists are known to not only lie to their spouses, but to family, friends and anyone who will listen. The good news is this usually also includes the Judge and their own attorney. This will ultimately become evident and work against them in the long run, but requires patience along the way.
You’ll need to speak with our divorce and family law attorneys about money and ensuring you have access to the financial resources you’ll need prior to the divorce. Once they become aware of your intention to divorce, an inevitable and almost predictable reaction will ensue. This is why it is so important to work with our proven attorneys who have decades of family law and trial experience including cases involving narcissists and those with other personality disorders.
